Hi! Welcome! I'm Robin...

...a produced and published playwright, screenwriter, commissioned book writer-lyricist, journalist, arts advocate and experienced business professional in the Broadway touring industry.
My writing work has been reviewed or featured in the New York Times, Playbill.com, Theatermania, New York Daily News and other media outlets, as well as covered on WNBC-TV, NY1 and Broadway.com. I've also written theater reviews for Time Out New York and I'm a contributor for the Clyde Fitch Report and have also contributed features for Broadway.com.
My big love has been being the book writer-lyricist of the goofy kids musical, Mad Libs Live!. I originated the idea of adapting the concept of the "World's Greatest Word Game", Mad Libs to the live stage, secured the rights from Penguin Random House, and ushered the project to an Off-Broadway run at New World Stages. Mad Libs Live! is licensed through Rodgers and Hammerstein (R&H) and the original cast album is available via the Grammy Award winning label, Broadway Records.
On the business side of the artsy world, I'm Director of Operations at Broadway Across America, one of the leading presenters and producers of live theatrical events in the United States and Canada. At BAA, I manage various complex facets of BAA's presenting engagements and have covered numerous readings, workshops and productions for BAA's Producing Division. Prior to BAA, I was a booking associate at The Road Company where I was the responsible agent for the North American tour of famed illusionist, David Copperfield. Interested in learning a bit about the Broadway touring industry? Visit my popular blog: The Road 101 that I created and managed between 2009-2014. You'll find lots of useful info and insights there!
One area that's especially near and dear to my heart is making a difference in my community. As a committed arts advocate, I'm a proud appointee of New York City Council Member and Speaker Corey Johnson to Community Board 2, Manhattan (CB2) where I serve as Chair of the Arts and Institutions Committee. I'm also on the advisory board of the historic Cherry Lane Theatre, New York City's longest continuously running Off-Broadway theater.
My other membership stuff: The Dramatists Guild, ASCAP and Actors' Equity Association. I'm also a proud alumna of the University of Pennsylvania where I graduated with honors in English and a minor in Theater and where I got the privilege to study playwriting with the legendary Romulus Linney.
I continue to live the dream in the West Village in a very small apartment.
